By DR. FLORANGEL ROSARIO BRAID I had the privilege of being guest speaker at the 62nd anniversary of the City of Dagupan last month. It was a week-long celebration starting with “Labi ya Panangidayew tan Panligliwa” (A Night of Recognition and Entertainment) which showcased the city’s proud heritage in culture and the arts, and recognized achievements towards making the city the center of trade, education, and now, arts and culture in Northern Luzon. What impressed me most was its comprehensive approach to local governance, its focus on its unique attributes – strategic location, human resources, its rich coastal resources, and the manner it had confronted threats from disasters – with remarkable courage and resiliency. It had done this through its past and present visionary leadership. Thanks to Mayor Al Fernandez and Councilor Farah Decano, chair of this year’s celebration for this opportunity to witness the evolution of the city of my birth. Dagupenos are united behind the revival o...

By Gabriel Cardinoza Philippine Daily Inquirer Dagupan City, Philippines—Pangasinan’s writers are in an uphill climb in their effort to save the dying Pangasinan literature. Aside from the dearth of writers in the vernacular, members of the Ulupan na Pansiansia’y Salitan Pangasinan (Association for the Preservation of the Pangasinan Language) say they have not been getting enough support to implement projects that will encourage a literary resurgence. “Pangasinan [writers] today lack the invigorating environment of a literary movement. We are alone in a wasteland … We are a dying tribe on the verge of extinction,” says Santiago Villafania, the province’s leading umaanlong (poet), who is also a member of the Ulupan. With a population of 2.65 million, half of whom are Pangasinan-speaking, Villafania says the province has only three short story writers, two novelists, six poets and one essayist. Only three of them have published books in the last six years. Literary silence “After half a ...

At last: 341 years after Charles II named John Dryden the first poet laureate, a woman has been appointed to the most prominent literary position in Britain. Today, at the University of Manchester’s John Rylands library, Carol Ann Duffy was anointed poet laureate by Andy Burnham, the secretary of state for culture, media and sport. “It is a great day for women writers,” said Duffy, who described the laureateship as “tending the flame” of poetry. “It highlights the way that women writers have changed the landscape of literature in this country … though I think guys will be pleased as well.” Ten years ago, she was reportedly ruled out of the laureateship because Tony Blair was concerned about how a gay poet laureate might play in middle England. Tonight a spokesman for Tony Blair denied this had been the case. » continue... Source: www.guardian.co.uk

Robby Tantingco, SunStar There are poets who make a living out of writing and performing poetry, which is not so bad. There are poets who make people appreciate the art and craft of poetry, which is noble. And then there is Vedasto Ocampo, who made it his life's mission to teach people how to write poems. To me, that's beyond noble. It's hard enough to teach people to write prose, but poetry? It's either they are poets or they're not. Poets are born, not made. Well, Vedasto Ocampo didn't think so. He didn't think he was wasting his time when he spent hours, days, weeks, months, years, turning ordinary folks into writers and writers into poets, because, he said, "Buri ku ing abalu yu king ing Dios man poeta ya!" (I want you to know that even God is a poet!). Which means, if God is a poet and we are His children who want to imitate Him, then we must all be poets, too. » continue ...

The Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature (Palanca Awards) reminds interested writers that they only have over a week to submit their entries for its new categories – Poetry Written for Children in the English Division and Tulang Isinulat Para sa mga Bata in the Filipino division. The deadline for submission is at 12:00 midnight of April 30, 2009. Now on its 59th year of awarding outstanding literary works, Palanca Awards sees the addition of the new categories as crucial in increasing the country’s stock of quality poems written especially for Filipino children. Palanca Awards hopes that developing poetry written by fellow Filipinos, which will hopefully rival foreign poems which have become classic nursery rhymes, will also help in the appreciation of poetry reading and writing at an early age. To qualify, an entry must consist of a collection of at least 10 but not more than 15 poems. It may deal with any subject and must be comprehensible within the grade-school reading l...
